Ex-Mariner Everett arrested for assault, tampering

Former Mariners outfielder Carl Everett was arrested Monday at his home in suburban Tampa, Fla., after allegedly holding a gun to his wife’s head.

Everett, 39, was jailed on charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and tampering with a witness. He was being held in the Hillsborough County Jail.

According to police documents, Everett and his wife of 18 years were arguing before Everett put a handgun to the side of her head. Everett’s wife tried to call 911 twice, but Everett broke both of the phones.
